More like I wasn’t picky. I wasn’t temping in a graduate job - it was just a job to earn some cash and get something on my CV showing that I could turn up 9-5 for 5 days a week and be productive in a professional environment.

9 months into temping I got a job that required a degree and paid 50% more than I was getting temping. I needed the experience and skills I learned temping to land that job though.
